Dear Adv Rodrigues
Thank you for giving us
information about the Governor Mr Satya Pal Malik that has been transferred
elsewhere.
There does not appear to be any adverse feed back about the Govenor. Is
there any way that public can ask the Governor General the basis in which
Mr Malik was transferred?
Thank you.
Regards
Oscar Lobo
